Side story 10 When light falls from the sky 1
--Duchy of Brange--
By the time Luciel carried the Pope on his back and jumped into the well, Brodo and Lionel had opened the huge door... and were overwhelming the group of demons who had been waiting in ambush.
"Whirlwind, fighting this opponent is the reason you were kept alive...Huh."
"Tsk, you're so persistent. I can't help it since you seemed so worried."
The door the two of them opened was a space that looked like a throne room, which could have been a throne in another country.
There, ten knights who felt as strong as the miasma-covered knights that the two failed to kill, who were also protecting the miasma, were waiting for the two intruders.
However, there should have been a sign of the evil god in the room, but I couldn't see the evil god.
Although the two felt like they had been exposed, they decided to defeat the miasma-covered knight for now.
Brodo challenged Lionel to a match in order to raise the tension even a little.
"Let's compete to see who can defeat us more or faster."
"Whirlwind, that hole is probably like a labyrinth. If we cut off the source of the miasma surrounding the knights, we might be able to stop it and return it to its original state."
Before Lionel accepts Brodo's offer, he points the blade of his great sword into the large hole behind the knights.
It seemed like the miasma emitted from the large hole was flowing towards the knights.
"That's right. Luciel would definitely make that choice. However, I don't think I'd try to save everything like Luciel."
Brodo shrugs his shoulders and then turns his gaze towards the knights covered in miasma.
"That's a strange coincidence. Obviously if it's a civilian or a non-combatant, I'll take precautions, but if the opponent is a knight or soldier, I won't hold back."
Lionel agreed with Brod's idea, and his fighting spirit overflowed from his body, and he swung his great sword.
Then, a slash that seemed to cut the air flew towards the knights.
“Ah, it’s dirty.”
"First come, first served, right? Well, they're motivated too."
Lionel's flying slash was blown away by several knights.
The knights, probably thinking this was a signal to start a battle, approached while forming a battle formation.
Brodo determines that the remaining two will use magic from behind in a four-person formation, and gives instructions to Lionel.
"Let's become a cannon for a little while."
Without waiting for Lionel's response, Brodo slipped through the knights at such a high speed that it seemed like he had disappeared, and slashed at the knight in the back.
Lionel also seemed to know how Brodo would move, and fired a series of flying slashes at the two groups of knights.
However, he seemed to be quite angry at Brodo for calling him a turret, and muttered, ``In that case, just like the name of the whirlwind, you should use your swirling movements and dynamic vision to dodge flying slash attacks.''
By the way, the reason why Brodo was given the nickname ``Whirlwind'' is because he was still weak at the time, and in the process of seeking destructive power, he developed a continuous attack that added swirling rotation, and made a name for himself.
However, he said that he was still in the process of development, far from a storm or a tornado, and that he was just a newborn whirlwind.He decided that whirlwind was a weak nickname, so it became a whirlwind, and it stuck.
As a result of this, there are almost no adventurers with names related to wind...
That Brodo firmly captured the flying slash that Lionel fired, and guided it into the line of sight of the flying slash while dodging the knight's attack, and landed the flying slash.
Of course, I didn't think that I could defeat the knight, whose defense power has increased due to the miasma, with just a flying slash, so I approached the knight, whose movements had become slow due to unexpected damage, and avoided the half-hearted attack, using my sword. He slipped it down his neck.
Without stopping, Brodo caught the attack of the knight who was about to swing his sword down on his fellow knights, flew backwards to dodge it, then approached at full speed and slashed at the neck with all his might.
The knight either saw Brodo's attack or felt something, and tried to block it. However, the sword Brodo swung with all his might was not a normal sword, but a custom-made sword made from a reincarnated dragon, so it sliced through the knight's entire sword.
“I still misunderstood the weapon’s performance as a normal high-quality weapon…What!?”
Brodo had only had mock battles with Luciel and Lionel for a long time, so he had forgotten that the weapon's performance was legendary.
Just then, two knights engulfed in flames that Lionel had blown away come rolling down.
"I've finished getting used to this evil god. Quickly get used to the equipment against the remaining knights."
When Brod looked at Lionel, there were already no knights near Lionel, and it seemed that only these two knights were left.
Realizing that he had lost the battle, Brodo cut down the two knights without causing them any pain.
"It's definitely my win."
“Tch, I’m the evil god…Hey, do you think these guys will come back again?”
“…The probability may not be zero.”
What the two saw were knights flowing with miasma.
The miasma is also flowing into the knights whose heads have already been decapitated.
If it was a labyrinth, it would probably disappear, but the story of corpses bathed in miasma becoming undead has long been famous in the Irmasia Empire.
“Perhaps it would be better to stay here until Luciel-sama arrives.”
"I wanted to check out this big hole before he came... but it seems like I can't say that."
Brodo's gaze was directed towards the corpses of the knights who had absorbed the miasma and started to move.
“I never thought I would see the moment when I become a living dead.”
"For now, let's defeat him until he no longer revives. If Luciel doesn't come back by then, I'll contact him and then we'll dive into that big hole."
"Don't tell me what to do. Well, that's probably fine."
In this way, the two continued to fight.
--Yenis---
This time we go back a little, and Crecia, Hattori, and Alice, who came to scout a huge magic circle that glowed red and black, were engaged in battle.
The opponents were not the monsters or demons that appeared from the magic circle, but the soldiers of the Principality who were charmed by the demons, who were the minions of the evil god of the Principality of Brange, and became their minions.
These soldiers possess weapons using spirit stones developed by similarly fascinated researchers, and their purpose is to release the magic circle sealed in Luciel.
Originally, they were supposed to attack the capital city of Yennis with the summoned monsters, but their plans were thrown off course due to the sanctuary barrier that Luciel had set up.
And their miscalculation was that they thought that the barrier could be broken immediately if it was a weapon using spirit stones.
They never thought they would be in a position to be attacked.
Cresia, who is so skilled with an archer that she was given the nickname ``Beautiful Bow Princess'' after sniping many demons in the Kingdom of Louburg, shoots at the weapons held by the soldiers one after another.
In his hand, he is equipped with a magic bow that can produce magical arrows just by putting magical power into it, and he can fire them continuously at will.
"Ha, next, next, ah, that person looks like a commander."
While saying this, Hattori boasts that he exists to protect Crecia, who draws her bow, and uses his ninjutsu liberally.
``Another World Ninpo Quicksand Hell (decomposes the soil into sand) Another World Ninpo Sandstorm (rolls up sand and deprives the soldiers of their visibility) Another World Ninpo Kagero Bunshin (A clone using the refraction of light using a life-sized mirror) )”
This harassment ninja technique was actually quite useful. But Hattori, who found the person he loves, is not a fake ninja.
"Ninpo Shadow Crossing"
The next moment he said that, Hattori appeared in the center of the principality's soldiers.
While Hattori is surprised to see him suddenly appear, Hattori activates another ninjutsu.
"Ninja technique of all clones (status is halved by the number of clones)"
Then, the cloned Hattori attacks the soldiers nearby.
Hattori isn't strong in terms of stats, but he fights well and buys time without being defeated.
Of course, the soldiers also try to defeat Hattori, but when Cresia's arrows of support reach them, Hattori becomes more motivated and becomes more active.
In this way, the morale of the soldiers, who were at the mercy of Hattori and had their weapons dropped by Crecia, decreased.
Just then, a huge golem appeared that made the earth tremble, and the soldiers ran away like spiderlings.
After confirming that it was safe, Hattori joined them using the ninjutsu shadow crossing and confirmed that Crecia was safe.
“Cresia-dono, are you okay?”
"Yeah. I just never thought I'd be fighting against humans."
"If you're having a hard time, I'll always lend you my heart."
"Is it okay now?"
Hattori was furious at Crecia, who was smiling bitterly, but when she turned her attention to Alice, she opened her mouth as if to spite her.
"Alice-dono, it's a shame to take something delicious with you."
"It can't be helped, right? Schwartz isn't perfected yet and can only be used as a threat. It's okay, he's been active."
“It wasn’t enough.”
"If you say things like that, something dangerous will happen."
"Nununu"
Cresia looked at the two of them and smiled, saying she was glad they had followed her, and then light fell from the sky and dyed the earth white.
--Rockford--
While Cresia and the others were facing the principality's soldiers, Paula and Rician were activating a giant golem group called "Lucierns".
"It's quite strong, and the magic stone seems to be large."
"I'm looking forward to seeing what you can make."
“From here on, it’s all out.”
"Yes."
Then, the giant golem group "Lucielns" controlled by the two men began to take turns tackling the giant monster.
The large arm that grabbed the huge magic circle burned pale and white inside Luciel's barrier.
I was wondering if it was okay to feel relieved about that, or whether it was unscrupulous to think that it wasn't fun or disappointing.
As lightning struck the magic circle, it fell from a barrier wrapped in blue-white flames and landed with a roar.
Unlike before, Paula and Rician had already braced themselves and were paying maximum attention to the creature, which was still pale and burning.
Then, little by little, the gigantic creature began to move, raising its body while screaming as if to release the anger that had been burned in the sanctuary barrier.
When Paula and Rician saw its size, they remembered a certain monster.
He is the World Dead Destroyer, the deadliest undead that brings chaos and disaster.
However, since he is alive this time, he probably has wisdom and seems to be strong.
That's when I thought about it.
The Destroyer looked around, ignoring the giant golem "Lucien" with Paula and Lisian on board, then opened its wide mouth and breathed out a breath like a ray of light into the empty forest.
"It might not taste good if you eat that..."
"The first one wins."
The giant golem "Lucien" that the two of them were on board started running towards the Destroyer and fired a roundhouse right fist at the Destroyer.
However, while he was making this big swing, "Lucien"'s fist had been replaced with a drill.
Destroyer screamed as he tried to block Lucien's fist with his palm, and tried to hit Lucien back.
Then, a huge plant jumped out from Lucien's back and knocked her fist away.
Then, when it became entangled with Destroyer's arm, "Lucien" replaced the drilled fist with a normal hand, grabbed the Destroyer's wrist, and threw it backwards.
The gigantic golem "Lucien" was more like a weapon than the principality's weapons using spirit stones, partly because Paula and Risian's levels had increased considerably.
Judging that the output was not much inferior to that of the giant golem, the two chose to safely obtain the magic stone without enjoying the battle.
Then, when a group of giant golems called "Lucierns" defeated the Destroyer, "Lucierns" with Paula and Lisian on board pierced the center of the chest where the magic stone was with a spear with a tip made from the bone of a reincarnated dragon.
However, the Destroyer did not die immediately, and tried to emit breath like a ray of light from its mouth in order to kill it with one final blow.
Immediately after Paula and Risian, who had a bad feeling, moved to block it with their nearby "Lucien", the Destroyer's breath burst.
As a result, the two golems were forced to be disposed of, but the two were safe.
“It was dangerous.”
“I still can’t get enough of it.”
“Maybe we don’t have enough strength yet.”
"That's right, is that an attack?"
Risian looked at the sky and cried out in surprise, while Paula thought the falling light was beautiful.
And my vision turned white.
Thank you for reading.
This time it was a quiet conversation. I think the next one will be a little off topic.
